Swimming pools provide great opportunities for recreation, relaxation and exercise. And when pools are adequately supervised and are equipped with appropriate safety measures, swimmers can enjoy their time in the pool with little worry. In some cases though, pools are not properly supervised, equipped or maintained and can present a high risk for accidents.
Did you know that ten people die daily from drowning? Drowning ranks fifth in the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And drowning is the second leading cause of death among children ages 1-4 – most in which happen in home swimming pool accidents. For every child that dies in a swimming pool accident, another five need emergency care for nonfatal submersion injuries. More than 50% of these victims must be hospitalized with injuries being predominantly severe brain damage due to the lack of oxygen suffered in the incident. Most surviving victims suffer long-term disabilities such as memory problems and learning disabilities which can lead to a permanent loss of basic functioning and vegetative states.
